Sagrada Familia Fast Track with Elevator to the Towers
Barcelona is regarded as the capital of Modernism and the location where worked and lived the renowned architect Antoni Gaudi. Gaudi, one of his time’s biggest innovators, has left behind many treasures to explore in Barcelona for the discerning tourist.
One of the most visited structures in the globe is the Sagrada Familia. Discover this splendid Modernist building on a guided tour of the basilica’s interior, where vaults reach up to 70 meters high.
Gaudi intended incredibly wealthy ornamentation and symbolism Latin cross scheme with five aisles. We will also visit the Sagrada Familia Museum, where from its early origins to the current day you will see sketches, plaster designs, and images of the history and growth of this basilica. The museum offers precious data on the life and career of Gaudi.
